What's the GPA Requirement for University of Oregon?

Hey guys! I'm in my junior year and looking at University of Oregon for potentially applying next year. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the sort of GPA they generally look for in applicants? Also, do they consider weighted GPAs or just unweighted?

The University of Oregon, like many universities, does not state a specific minimum GPA requirement for admission, but it does publish some stats that can be helpful for applicants. For the Fall 2023 entering class, the average unweighted GPA of admitted students was about 3.8. However, that's just an average – they do accept applicants with GPAs that are both higher and lower.

In terms of whether they consider weighted or unweighted GPA, they look at both. They will take your coursework into account, including any advanced placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, which can boost the weighted GPA. So if you're doing well in challenging courses and your weighted GPA is pretty high, that could work in your favor. But keep in mind, they will still look at your unweighted GPA to get a sense of how you've performed overall.

Remember, your GPA isn't the only thing they'll look at though. They will also consider your SAT/ACT scores, your extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, essays, and potentially your demonstrated interest in the university. It's all a holistic process that takes various factors into account.
